Govt moves to fix TTS faculty salary disparities at universities
Ahsan Iqbal chaired a meeting that called for a clear pay formula for professors, associate and assistant professors, and warned the HEC against inaccurate data.
Planning and Development Minister Ahsan Iqbal chaired a high-level meeting on TTS salary disparities on Friday.
He wants a clear, objective formula that sets appropriate pay differences between professors, associate professors and assistant professors.
The proposed framework covers existing disparities, an inflation-based adjustment and a forward-looking CPI-linked mechanism.
He said the loss of talented professors to jobs abroad is deeply concerning and must be addressed through fair pay.
He warned the HEC against incomplete or inaccurate information, saying he would hold the Commission accountable.
